Invocation
Language: French (Français) 
Amour qui me ravis le cœur
Sans craindre qu'un jour il se brise
à force de subir l'emprise 
du pouvoir exterminateur

Amour qui me dérobe l'âme
et la consume sans regret
pareille à quelqu'un sans discret 
sur l'autel de ta pure flamme

Amour qui me prend la raison
jouet de ta force sublime
et l'éternelle illusion
regard ébloui sur l’abîme

Amour qui m'donné la vie
puisse t'elle s'éteindre en toi
pour qu'enfin ta divine loi 
comble mon attente assouvie
